Headlight Removal

I have a really bad steamy drivers headlight and I am at the end of my wits trying to solve this problem! I am going to tackle the job myself so I am just wandering if anyone knows where all the screws are to remove the headlight?

It's easier not to try and remove the whole bumper, just pull it forward. It's pretty easy to do when you know where all the screws are.

3 star screws in each arch.
2 stars under the bumper on each side below the fog lights.
1 funny clip just inside the back end of the bumper, at the top in the arch
1 10mm bolt on each side in the bumper. You have to put you arm inside from the arch.
3 star screws on the top side of the bumper where the bonnet front sits

Don't know if it'll work the same on the A3's, but on the Mk4 Ibizas, which all suffered really badly from condensation and misting, the 'solution' was to drill a small hole in the removable plastic cover on the rear of headlights, and put a small rubber grommet in them, so water couldn't get in, but allowed enough air in to keep them clear.
